Every coat I have has pockets full of things: I hear shells rattling about with
bits of plastic when I pull one on to face the school run, I fiddle with acorn
cups while I'm waiting for a flat white in my local cafe; I scrunch up bits of
lichen and tangled sea-string while I'm trying to find my gloves. I am and
always have been a bit of a collector: not of high value, status-ridden things
that you have to be careful with. Just little, curious, quirky things that are
everywhere in everybody's everyday life. I just like to pick them up, look at
them and put them in my pocket. Then I like to make them into jewellery later…
So I make contemporary, definitely eclectic jewellery from found objects
(driftwood, sea plastic, sea glass and slate pebbles) combined with
semi-precious stones and pearls linked together with chunky hammered eco-silver
chains, delicate crocheted fine silver and fused silver focal pieces. I’m lucky
enough to live in Cornwall and I love spending time outdoors in the fresh air on
local beaches and in the woods, collecting curious things…
